9. Prove that the parallelogram circumscribing a circle is a rhombus.
Solution:
www.vedantu.com 6 / 23
CBSE-X-2013 EXAMINATION
We know that the tangents drawn to a circle from an exterior point are equal in length. Therefore, AP = AS,
BP = BQ, CR = CQ and DR = DS. Adding the above equations,
AP + BP + CR + DR = AS + BQ + CQ + DS
(AP + BP) + (CR + DR) = (AS + DS) + (BQ + CQ)
AB + CD = AD + BC
2AB = 2BC
(Since, ABCD is a parallelogram so AB = DC and AD = BC)
AB = BC
Therefore, AB = BC = DC = AD.
Hence, ABCD is a rhombus.

11.In fig., a circle is inscribed in triangle ABC touches its sides AB, BC and AC at points D, E and F
respectively. If AB = 12 cm, BC = 8 cm and AC = 10 cm, then find the length of AD, BE and CF.
Solution:
Given: AB = 12 cm, BC = 8 cm and AC = 10 cm.
Let, AD = AF = x cm, BD = BE = y cm and CE = CF = z cm
(Tangents drawn from an external point to the circle are equal in length)
2(x + y + z) = AB + BC + AC = AD + DB + BE + EC + AF + FC = 30 cm
x + y + z = 15 cm
AB = AD + DB = x + y = 12 cm
z = CF = 15 - 12 = 3 cm
AC = AF + FC = x + z = 10 cm
y = BE = 15 - 10 = 5 cm
x = AD = x + y + z - z - y = 15 - 3 - 5 = 7 cm

29. Sum of the areas of two squares is 400 Cm2. If the difference of their perimeters is 16 cm, find the sides
of the two squares.
Solution:
Let the sides of the two squares be x cm and y cm where x > y.
Then, their areas are x2 and y2 and their perimeters are 4x and 4y.
By the given condition:
www.vedantu.com 19 / 23
CBSE-X-2013 EXAMINATION
x2 + y2 = 400 … (1)
and 4x - 4y = 16
4(x - y) = 16 x - y = 4
x = y + 4 ... (2)
Substituting the value of x from (2) in (1), we get:
(y + 4)2 + y2 = 400
y2 + 16 + 8y + y2 = 400
2y2 + 16 + 8y = 400
y2 + 4y - 192 = 0
y2 + 16y - 12y - 192 = 0
y(y + 16) - 12 (y + 16) = 0
(y + 16) (y - 12) = 0
y = -16 or y = 12
Since, y cannot be negative, y = 12.
So, x = y + 4 = 12 + 4 = 16
Thus, the sides of the two squares are 16 cm and 12 cm.
